This book is not quite for the layman (or laywoman the case may be) when it comes to a viral outbreak of the cat variety. Fortunately, I'm familiar with some aspects of biology but I'm terrible at statistics so pretty much skimmed those scenes. Doughnuts and lilies mean nothing to me. It deals a lot of issues such as are we fated to be our genes through her bipolar mother and the autistic professor. Then there is the place of women in academia or feminism in general. The ending was a little disappointing for me as it did leave everything too neatly resolved. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Sexism, Secrets and Science: Cat Zero by Jennifer Rohn Scientist Artie Marshall is perpetually underfunded, relegated to a damp basement, and besieged on all sides by sexist colleagues. Added to that, she is immersed in a messy divorce. But she's never been happier, studying an obscure cat virus that nobody else in the world seems to have heard of -- or cares about. Everything changes when local cats start dropping dead and Artie's arcane little research problem becomes worryingly relevant. Matters get worse when people start getting infected too. Working with her right-hand man Mark, her vet friends and her street-smart technician, Artie races to get to the bottom of the ballooning epidemic. Unexpected assistance arrives in the form of two basement-dwelling mathematicians -- a sociopathic recluse and his scary, otherworldly savant mentor. When their mathematical models suggest that the cat plague might actually be more sinister than it first appears, Artie gets drawn into a web of secrets and lies that threatens to blow apart her lab family, undermine her sanity -- and endanger her own life.

The best parts of the story, for me, were when Artie and the other researchers attempted to piece together information and solve the mystery of the virus, and I kept waiting for the moment when someone would connect the lethal virus affecting cats, to the contagion spreading among humans. (That link was depicted in the story's opening pages, so I don't think this insight is a spoiler.) ( )
